Annualized Nutrition
Plan for your herd’s nutritional needs throughout the year as forage quality, body condition, and stage of production change.
START WITH YOUR HERD
Plan for the whole production year.
Annualized Nutrition is Westway’s approach to managing cowherd nutrition and body condition throughout the year. Look at what your forage provides, what your cows need at each stage, and where supplementation can help fill a gap.
Self-fed, free-choice options such as liquid feed and tubs can be part of that plan. The choice depends on what your herd needs and how you manage feed delivery.
THREE QUESTIONS TO ASK
Build the plan around your operation.
01
What are my cattle eating?
Consider the quality and availability of pasture or stored forage as conditions change.
02
What does my herd need now?
Consider body condition and where cows are in the production cycle, from gestation and calving through breeding and weaning.
03
How will I deliver the supplement?
Talk with your representative about free-choice options and how they fit your feeding setup.
